I searched all remarks for numeric or descriptive owner-occupancy information and found none. Owner-occupancy is a numeric field and cannot be inferred from these remarks; therefore its value is unknown (null) with low confidence. No changes were made because numeric values must be explicitly stated in remarks to be updated.
Multiple public remarks explicitly state the building has 5 elevators (e.g., "5 elevators throughout the property"). This is direct, repeated listing language, so the numeric elevator count is reported as 5 with high confidence.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

16 of 20 current MLS listings have the OTCOEX association_fee_includes checkbox checked and many public remarks reference 'maintenance of the common areas' (e.g., 'maintenance of the common areas are included'). Although explicit phrasing like 'common area electricity' is rare in the remarks, the high frequency of the OTCOEX checkbox across multiple agent listings suggests the building maintenance fee likely covers common-area electric costs.

Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings shows HOTWAT checked while many listings specifically state 'tankless water heater', 'new water heater', or list WTRHTR in inclusions (about 10/20), indicating units have their own hot water heaters. Multiple agent remarks confirm in-unit water heaters, so hot water is not included in the monthly maintenance fee.

18 of 20 listings list SEWER in association_fee_includes and several public remarks explicitly state 'sewer is included' or include sewer in a list ('Water, sewer, and common area maintenance are included'). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, giving strong confidence that sewer is included in the maintenance fee.
19 of 20 listings include WATER in the association_fee_includes checkbox and many public remarks explicitly state 'water' is included in the monthly maintenance fee. The consistency across multiple listings and agents provides strong evidence that water is covered by the maintenance fees.
Strong, consistent evidence: nearly all listings (MLS historically 19/20) and the current public remarks repeatedly mention BBQ facilities — phrases include 'BBQ area', 'barbecue grills', 'BBQ pavilion' and 'BBQ pavilion/covered pavilion'. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, indicating a building-level shared BBQ amenity.

Strong evidence across listings: 17 of 20 MLS listings list the exercise/fitness room (remarks repeatedly say 'fitness room', 'exercise room', 'workout room' or 'fitness center'). Multiple independent agent remarks describe a well‑equipped fitness room/center, indicating this is a consistent, building‑level amenity rather than a copy‑paste error.
No analysis available
Several listings (at least 5+) describe an indoor meeting-type space, using terms like 'meeting room', 'recreation room with gym equipment', 'rec room', and 'community meeting room'. This aligns with prior high confidence and confirms that the building offers a shared meeting/rec room accessible to residents.
Multiple listings (10+ from different agents) explicitly mention unit lanais/balconies and building BBQ/poolside pavilions, e.g., 'one of the larger lanais in the complex,' 'watch the sunset from your lanai,' and 'BBQ pavilion perfect for gatherings.' Other units reference a 'Juliet balcony' and 'oceanfront pavilion with BBQ and picnic areas,' indicating consistent availability of patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Even though only a minority of MLS checkboxes flag PATDEC/COVPAT, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that patio/deck amenities exist in this building.
Good evidence: 11 of 20 MLS listings list walking/jogging path and several remarks explicitly say 'walking/jogging path' or 'paths throughout the complex' leading to pools/lagoon. This consistent mention across multiple agent remarks supports that the property includes walking/jogging paths on the grounds.

Moderate evidence: several listings mention a 'meeting room', 'rec room', 'recreation room' or 'recreation area' (explicit phrases found in a number of public remarks), while MLS shows this amenity in 4/20 listings. The mentions are explicit but not ubiquitous, so inclusion is warranted with moderate confidence.
Moderately strong evidence: although CURRENT MLS checkbox count for RECROO is lower (2/20), many public remarks describe a 'meeting room', 'rec room', or 'recreation room with gym equipment', indicating the building offers at least one shared recreation/meeting space that agents mention across listings.

Many listings (well over 10) repeatedly mention a shared sauna facility, often noting 'sauna', 'sauna room', '2 saunas', or 'male/female saunas' in the amenity list. The frequency and detail of these remarks confirm that one or more saunas are available to residents.
Several listings describe building-level storage features, including a unit with a 'covered parking stall & storage locker,' another with 'assigned parking with storage,' and remarks noting 'storage closets' and 'storage space for your surfboard' as part of the common amenities. This appears in at least 4 different listings from different agents, suggesting dedicated storage facilities are a consistent, shared amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. Despite sparse MLS checkbox use, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that Makaha Surfside offers resident storage/locker options.
I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and similar phrases. Multiple public remarks directly mention surfboard storage among the building amenities, supporting surfboard_storage = true.
No analysis available
Weak / mixed evidence: 12 of 20 MLS listings list a trash-chute amenity (historical Medium confidence), but public remarks contain zero explicit mentions of a trash or refuse chute (only a single remark notes trash collection is included in maintenance). Given lack of explicit remarks, presence is uncertain—MLS data suggests it exists but on-the-ground confirmation is lacking.

All 20/20 current listings reference on-site pools; remarks repeatedly state phrases like "two swimming pools," "two sparkling pools," and "resort-style amenities" including pools. Mentions appear across many listings and agents (some likely copy/paste), giving strong, consistent evidence that the building offers pool facilities.
No remarks (0/20) explicitly state the pools are heated; listings repeatedly call them 'two pools', 'sparkling pools', or 'salt water pools' but never 'heated' or 'heated pool'. While 3/20 MLS amenity checkboxes list HEAPOO, the absence of any 'heated' language in detailed remarks across the dataset strongly indicates the pools are not heated; the few MLS flags appear to be inconsistent agent checkbox usage.
I searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'salt', etc. There are explicit mentions of salt water pools in the remarks, supporting pool_salt = true.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (15 of 20) explicitly reference shared laundry—phrases include 'community laundry', 'on-site laundry facilities', and 'two community laundry areas'. The consistency across many listings and strong historical MLS checkbox data indicate the building indeed offers community/shared laundry facilities; evidence appears across different agent remarks rather than isolated wording, supporting high confidence.
I searched for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card', or 'paid laundry'. Remarks consistently mention community or on-site laundry facilities but do not indicate they require payment.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Multiple remarks reference community/on-site laundry and two laundry buildings, but none explicitly state laundry is available on every floor.
Strong evidence building-wide: all 20 listings include parking in MLS checkbox data and multiple public remarks reference covered stalls, parking structure, guest stalls and covered parking (examples: "covered parking stall", "parking structure", "one assigned open parking stall"). Mentions appear across many different listings/agents, indicating the building offers parking as a consistent amenity rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
Strong evidence building provides assigned parking: 18 of 20 MLS listings have the ASSIGN checkbox checked, and multiple remarks explicitly state 'assigned parking', 'deeded parking', 'designated parking stall' or 'reserved parking' (e.g., 'one assigned open parking stall', 'deeded covered parking space', 'designated parking stall'). Mentions come from many different listings/agents, indicating the feature is widely available across units.
Strong evidence building offers covered parking: 15 of 20 MLS listings list covered parking (COVERE/CO1/CO2/GARAGE) and numerous remarks explicitly mention 'covered parking', 'deeded covered stall', 'covered assigned parking stall' or 'covered parking spot' across listings, confirming covered parking is commonly provided.
Many listings explicitly state parking is deeded/assigned (examples include "deeded covered parking space", "deeded covered stall", "assigned parking stall", and "designated parking stall"). This supports a high-confidence determination that parking stalls are deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for phrases like "parking fee", "monthly parking", "additional parking cost", and mentions of rented stalls but found none. Because parking is described as assigned/deeded in many listings and no fee language appears, there is no evidence to provide a monthly parking fee amount.
Moderately strong and explicit evidence that guest parking is available: roughly 8 of 20 listings reference guest or visitor stalls, with remarks quoting "guest stalls", "ample guest parking", and specific counts such as "22 guest stalls". The evidence appears across multiple listings and agents, supporting inclusion of guest parking as a building feature.
Many listings describe Makaha Surfside as a “secured, gated” property with “24/7 gated security” and specifically note that the “parking entry has security guard” and that there is a “secure parking garage.” This repeated emphasis on gated/guarded access supports that the parking facilities have secured entry, even though only a subset of MLS checkboxes explicitly flag it.

I searched for phrases such as "parking waitlist", "waiting list for parking", and similar terminology but found none. Given repeated statements about assigned/deeded stalls and available guest parking, there is no evidence a waitlist system is advertised in the public remarks.
No analysis available
Searched for 'key card', 'fob', 'card reader', 'electronic access'. Listings describe secured/keyed entry and gated access but contain no explicit reference to card/fob access systems.
Strong evidence that the building provides on-site security: at least 30+ public-remark instances in this corpus mention phrases like "24-hour security", "24/7 gated security", "security guard", and "security patrol". The wording appears repeatedly across listings from multiple agents (likely some copy/paste), and corroborates the MLS checkbox (18/20), so include security guard as a building feature.
Public remarks consistently and explicitly reference 24-hour/24-7 security patrol, guards, and gated security, so security_patrol is true with high confidence.

Strong evidence that units in this building have window air conditioning: roughly 15 separate listing remarks explicitly mention window A/C (examples: "newer window A/C unit", "large window AC unit", "brand new window AC", "window air conditioning unit"). This confirmation appears across multiple agents and listings (not just a single copy/paste), supporting inclusion of window_ac = true with high confidence.
High confidence the building is concrete: 19 of 20 current MLS records list 'CONCRE' as a construction material and multiple listings' remarks explicitly reference concrete or cinder-block walls (e.g., 'Concrete walls in the living spaces have been dry walled' and 'smooth walls that eliminate any hint of cinder block'). The evidence is consistent across many agent listings and reinforced by both MLS checkbox data and the public remarks, indicating a concrete-built structure.
No analysis available
Limited evidence: 3 of 20 MLS records list HOLTIL, but public remarks do not mention hollow tile. Without explicit remarks or stronger MLS prevalence, hollow tile construction is not reliably supported.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS records include MASSTU and multiple listings describe concrete/cinder-block walls that have been drywalled/surfaced. While remarks do not explicitly say 'stucco', the pattern of masonry/concrete construction with finished exteriors supports including masonry/stucco at an implied confidence level.
No analysis available
Implied evidence: 6 of 20 MLS construction_materials list SLAB and the building is repeatedly described with concrete/cinder-block construction, which commonly sits on concrete slab foundations. No remarks explicitly state 'concrete slab', so this feature is included with moderate (implied) confidence.

No analysis available
MLS construction_materials continue to list ABOGRO for a majority of recent listings (11/20), and remarks repeatedly describe ground-floor vs. upper-floor units, top-floor studios, and elevators without any indication of subterranean or partially buried construction. The physical descriptions (rooftop/second-floor level parking, multiple stories) support that the building is conventionally built above ground, so the prior above-ground flag remains valid.
Weak evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS construction_materials include BRICK and no public remarks reference brick or brick-and-mortar construction. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, it's unlikely the building is primarily brick construction.
No analysis available
Listings market the property as suitable for investors and vacation retreats, but I found no explicit wording such as "short-term rental allowed", "STR permitted", "vacation rental allowed", or references to TVU/NUC. Absence of explicit permission yields a conservative assessment that STRs are not confirmed permitted based on public remarks.
There is no evidence in the remarks of any hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program; descriptions focus on resident amenities (pools, fitness room, etc.) and assigned parking. Because STRs are not indicated and no hotel-pool language appears, this is set to false with high confidence.
No public remarks state that participation in a hotel/rental pool is required or mandatory. Multiple listings emphasize owner use, investor potential, and do not reference any mandatory program, so mandatory participation is not supported by the remarks.

Multiple public remarks explicitly describe units and the project as "fee simple," meaning this is not a leasehold property. Because the building is fee simple, a land-lease expiry year is not applicable.
Multiple listings explicitly state VA financing/approval (e.g., "VA approved", "qualify with ... VA $0 down loans", and a listing noting the unit is "VA loan assumable with a 4.25% interest rate"). This provides high confidence that the building is VA loan approved based on public remarks.
I reviewed all public remarks for explicit HOA/building insurance statements (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', 'full insurance') and found none. With no explicit insurance statements, the feature is set to false with medium confidence (absence of mention is common but not definitive).
No analysis available
I searched all remarks for phrases indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', 'passed fire inspection') and found none. Because there is no explicit statement, the field is set to false with medium confidence (absence of mention does not prove failure).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong, building-wide evidence: well over 30 listing remarks explicitly advertise ocean or oceanfront views (phrases include 'ocean view', 'oceanfront', 'Pacific Ocean views', 'direct beach access'). Mentions appear across many agents and listings rather than isolated copy/paste errors, confirming the building offers ocean-view units.
Moderate evidence: roughly 4–6 remarks mention mountain or Waianae range views (e.g., 'peek-a-boo mountain views', 'Waianae mountain range', 'Mauna Lahilahi'), suggesting some units provide mountain/mauka sightlines. Evidence is spread among different listings, implying availability to buyers searching for mountain views.

Limited-to-moderate evidence: a smaller number of listings use terms like "coastline", "coastal views" or reference the West coastline explicitly. Mentions are fewer than ocean or sunset references but present enough across listings to include the feature for buyers searching for coastline views.
Several listings highlight views of the project’s landscaped areas rather than just the ocean, citing 'grounds are perfectly landscaped to enjoy views from your unit,' 'lush grassy common area,' 'lovely grassy area,' and 'lush green manicured grounds.' One studio explicitly notes you can gaze at 'beautiful garden or pool side.' This consistent language across different units supports that garden/landscaped views are a real feature buyers can seek out here.

No analysis available
Limited but present evidence: a small number of remarks explicitly advertise 'sunrise views' or 'wake up each morning to stunning sunrise views' (quoted in at least one listing), suggesting a few units may have sunrise/eastern exposure. Evidence is limited to a handful of listings, so confidence is moderate.
Strong evidence: many listings explicitly advertise 'sunset views', 'watch the sunset', and 'front-row sunsets' from units and lanais (numerous remarks across different units). Sunset/view-west exposure is consistently referenced by multiple agents, supporting high confidence that the building offers sunset-view units.
No analysis available
Searched for 'fireworks', 'watch fireworks from lanai', and similar phrases. Remarks emphasize ocean, sunset, lagoon, and marine views but contain no statements about fireworks view from the building.

MLS checkbox data currently lists RESMAN on 8 of 20 listings, and multiple remarks explicitly state there is an on-site/resident manager (quotes found: 'resident manager's office on site', 'on-site manager', 'on site management'). Evidence is repeated across different listings and agents; while some copy/paste risk exists, the combination of checklist data and repeated remark confirmations supports including resident manager = true.
